N8ivWarrior: Christmas Songs

And a little over the edge.

Christmas Songs

Published Sunday, November 09, 2008 by N8ivWarrior | E-mail this post

On November 1, I walked into a department store to help my daughter buy shoes for work and over the loud speakers I heard Christmas Songs. Did I mention it was November 1? I am not really a person to complain about Christmas songs as I am one of those people who will often stand in the middle of sporting goods singing at the top of my lungs "FIVE GOLDEN RINGS!!!" But when the songs start this early, by the time Christmas comes around, I will certainly be ready to throw every piece of sporting equipment in the store at the speakers.

Of course, it may be easier for everyone if they played Thanksgiving music...oh wait...no Thanksgiving songs. Mother's day, Father's day, Valentine's day, Christmas and Halloween all have songs appropriate for it. But Thanksgiving (and black Friday) get chumped by not having music appropriate for the holiday.

Let's think about this though, the Natives provided the unfortunate Pilgrims food and showed them how to harvest it. They all sat around a nice long table talking about how to co-exists only to be biochemically and physically neutralized within the following 50 years. That kinda places a damper on the song. Maybe a song about killing birds!
